Coming from someone who is looking to get a yorkie in the next couple of months, I would hope that any breeder who doesnt want to sell me one of his/her pups would tell me the truth. I suppose some people would just lie to the next breeder, but I know that I would use that as an opportunity to learn. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I'd rather find out what I'm doing wrong before I get my furbutt. Unfortunately, some breeders are just in it for the money and dont care who they sell to. If the first breeder I contacted sold to me with no questions asked, I would have made some pretty dumb mistakes. But, thankfully she told me the truth and it inspired me to educate myself. Here I am, 2 years later and I know a heck of a lot more than I did 2 years ago. The breeder who turned me down is a YT member (though I didnt even know about YT back then), and I respect her knowledge...and I absolutely respect the fact that she truly cares who her pups go to.
In conclusion (lol), sometimes the truth hurts, but I think that by telling the truth you are honouring your pups by letting prospective buyers know what it is about them that makes them "unfit" to own one of your guys/gals.
